2026 Wedding Flower Colour Trends: Light Blue & Burgundy vs Mulberry Cottage

Dramatic Mulberry Cottage artificial wedding bouquet featuring deep red anthurium, dark plum peonies and trailing amaranthus — Boutique Bouquets

Wedding flower colour palettes are evolving fast in 2026, and two stunning combinations are dominating bridal mood boards right now: the classic yet fresh Light Blue & Burgundy and the deeply romantic Mulberry Cottage. Whether you're planning a grand ballroom wedding or an intimate countryside ceremony, these palettes offer something truly special.

Light Blue & Burgundy — Timeless with a Modern Twist

This palette pairs the softness of sky blue with the drama of deep burgundy — a combination that works beautifully across all seasons.

Key flowers in this palette:

  • Sky Blue Delphinium — tall, elegant stems perfect for ceremony arches
  • Burgundy Calla Lily — sleek and sophisticated for bridal bouquets
  • Merlot Cymbidium Orchid — adds an exotic, luxurious touch
  • Burgundy Ranunculus — full, romantic blooms ideal for bridesmaid posies
  • Ocking Blue Hydrangea — lush filler that anchors the blue tones beautifully

Perfect for: Autumn and winter weddings, church ceremonies, black-tie receptions.

Mulberry Cottage — Rich, Romantic & Utterly On-Trend

Mulberry Cottage is the palette for brides who want depth and drama without going full dark florals. The combination of plum, dusty rose, sage green and pale chartreuse feels both luxurious and organic — like a rambling English cottage garden in full bloom.

Key flowers in this palette:

  • Deep Red Anthurium — bold and architectural
  • Blush Brownie Peony — soft and full, a bridal bouquet favourite
  • Olive Cymbidium Orchid — unexpected and utterly chic
  • Green Hanging Amaranthus — cascading texture for statement bouquets
  • Speckled Watermelon Vanda Orchid — a showstopping finishing touch

Perfect for: Spring and summer weddings, garden parties, boho and rustic venues.
